Ruicheng's Three-Stage Theater draws thousands in cultural revival

The event has brought together opera masters from all three provinces to demonstrate intangible cultural heritage techniques, including lying fish (a tumbling acrobatic maneuver), hat wing technique (balancing and manipulating long pheasant feathers), and flower spear (rabid, choreographed spear play).

During the festival, daily performances of local intangible cultural heritage operas, including Pu opera, string opera, and Yanggao opera, are scheduled across the three stages, achieving what organizers have called "ancient stage plays every day". In addition to the shows, the site offers interactive experiences, such as opera makeup application, costume changing, and guided park tours, allowing visitors to dress in period attire and photograph themselves on the historic stage.
